Conditions of Sale 


CT AD™,_» 


1, REJECTION OF Bips. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value 
of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance, 
may be rejected by the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be 
likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

2. THE Buyer. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute 
arises between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the 
same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

3. IDENTIFICATION AND Deposir By Buyer. ‘The name of the buyer of 
each lot shall be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so 
required, each buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number, amount for 
which sold, and his or her name and address. QA deposit at the actual 
time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the purchase prices a3 
may be required. (If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, 
the lot or lots so purchased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up 
again and re-sold. 

4. RISK AFTER PuRCHASE. ‘Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s 
hammer, and thereafter the property is at the purchaser’s risk, and neither 
the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss of, or any 
damage to any article by theft, fire, breakage, however occasioned, or any 
other cause whatsoever. 

5. Deivery or PurcHases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only 
upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the saie. 

6. RecerpTep Bitis. Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a re- 
ceipted bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized 
and honored as an order by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer 
of the goods described thereon. If a receipted bill is lost before delivery 
of the property has been taken, the buyer should immediately notify the 
Association of such loss. 

47. STORAGE IN DEFAULT OF PRompT PAYMENT AND CALLING FOR Goops. 
Articles not paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent 
by noon of the day following that of the sale may be turned over by the 
Association to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse 
until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of 
such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against the 
purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or 
storage will be upon the purchaser. (In any instance where the purchase 
bill has not been paid in full by noon of the day following that of the sale, 
the Association and the auctioneer reserve the right, any other stipulation 
in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect to any or all lots 
included in the purchase bill, at its or his option, either to cancel the sale 
thereof or to re-sell the same at public or private sale without further 
notice for the account of the buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for 
any deficiency and all losses and expenses sustained in so doing. 

8. Suippinc. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in

which the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, how- 
ever, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and 
reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any 
assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the 
parties engaged for such service. 


. GUARANTY. ‘The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot 


correctly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of the sale to 
point out any error, defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either 
by the owner or the Association of the correctness of the description, 
genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and no sale will be set 
aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or imperfection 
not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold “as is” and without recourse. 
CL Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and 
the Association will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy 
expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its 
judgment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of 
the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become responsible for such 
damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 

Recorps. The records of the auctioneer and the Association are in all cases 
to be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by ~ 
both buyer and seller as the value against which all claims for losses or 
damage shall lie. 

BuyYING ON OrprrR. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if con- 
ditions permit, will be faithfully attended to without charge of commission 
Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, 
except that, in the event of a purchase of a lot of one or more books by or 
for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been present at 
the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned 
within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be 
refunded, if the lot differs from its catalogue description. [Orders for 
execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as to 
leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be 
given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the 
lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects 
of art, the bid for volume or piece should also be stated. If the one trans- 
mitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit must be sent 
or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 


These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the 
auctioneer or by an officer of the -Association

ARMS AND ARMOR 


Mr. Converse was a lover of beautiful armor,—one of the few collectors 
of his time who appreciated its rarity, its romance and its beauty. His col- 
lection, brought together between twenty and thirty years ago and mounted 
in his great hall at Conyers Manor, Greenwich, consisted of but few pieces, 
but each was chosen carefully and purchased only after it had been expertised, 
as authentic and desirable, by his group of collector friends who had 
followed the technical side of the study of armor, and who now and then 
put him on his guard against forgeries. In a word, Mr. Converse was 
determined that his armory should have in it no specimen whose authenticity 
could be questioned. We know, in point of fact, that the memoranda which 
have been transcribed in the present catalogue have been passed upon, not by 
one expert only but by several, including the most competent—and we find 
that their testimony corresponds accurately. So sure are we of these findings 
that the American Art Association, will in the case of such important objects,

SUIT OF ENGRAVED ARMOR North Italian, 1570 


A heavy suit of Pisan type, retaining its great guard [left] 
together with garde-col of right shoulder: a specimen of 
great rarity: it was one of the capital pieces in the Collec- 
tion of the Duke of Osuna. 

Parts of the suit from the thighs upward are genuine, save 
one gauntlet: somewhat composed [as are nearly all suits 
of this type], but of high quality. 

This armor came into the hands of Victor Bachereau of 
Paris about 1890, and by him the leg defenses were added,— 
so accurately modeled, patiné, and engraved that they might 
readily be mistaken for authentic elements. The engraving 
is by the well-known artist, F. Daubresse.

MAXIMILIAN ARMOR 
German, made for Spain, Early XVI Century 


From an ancient Spanish armory. Its elements somewhat 
composed [as in every specimen of Maximilian armor in 
this country]. 

For a suit of this early period and quality its restorations 
are few. In American collections it is, in fact, one of the 
most complete extant: of its rivals there are only about six, 
whose leg defenses are a pair and are of the period. 

It consists of the following authentic parts: 

Casque: Timbre of spherical type, with median ridge low 
and broad: bellows-visor of four ridges. 

Colletin 

Breastplate with neck border formed in the earlier manner 
as a sharp ridge without roping: below this is a wide blank 
area, bordered with three transverse grooves, which to- 
gether form an ornamental area, from which numerous 
grooves converge gracefully in the direction of the waist. 
Taces, and tasset 

Backplate: with garde-reins. 

Shoulders whose scapular elements bear transverse grooves 
in the Spanish manner. : 

Right arm and one gauntlet, the latter again, of the Spanish 
type having the cuff plain and without raised borders or 
roping. ; 

Cuisses, right and left of admirable form, Spanish in style, 
the knee caps showing flutings radiating from a central point, 
and shells in which the flutings are widest anteriorly and 
converge toward the back of the knee: also in having the 
wide plate below the knee provided with fluting converging 
from the lower border. 

Boots, both right and left, provided with sabbatons of the 
period; in one of these the terminal plate has been replaced. 
The toe-region of sabbatons is decorated with long ridges 
en torsade. 

The present suit is provided with a jupon made up of damask 


of the period. [See illustration]
